UCI Arboretum

The UCI Arboretum is a 12.5-acre botanic garden and research facility. The Arboretum provides an introduction to the unique flora of coastal California from Irvine south into Mexico, as well as other representative habitats within the California Floristic Province. There is also a strong emphasis on the plant communities that occur in the Irvine area, in addition to plants of southern Africa, particularly Aloes and South African bulb species.
